J R Root - Artist

Portrait Artist

I first started painting again 3 years ago whilst trying to escape my depressing desk job and needing to find some creativity. During this time, I've taught myself how to paint and although I haven't received formal art training, I now paint portraits and commission pieces in a range of sizes, from miniatures to life-size.

From painting in my bedroom to winning awards in exhibitions are selling commissions over the world, I've always tried to be honest in my work and focused on drawing out colour and expression.
